+
+<p>Many people still connect to the Internet through some kind of dialup connection. The
+most common method is PPP, though SLIP is still occasionally used. Setting up your system
+to speak PPP to a remote server is pretty easy. We've included a few tools to help you in
+setting it up.</p>
+
+<div class="SECT2">
+<h2 class="SECT2"><a id="AEN1954" name="AEN1954">5.4.1 <tt
+class="COMMAND">pppsetup</tt></a></h2>
+
+<p>Slackware includes a program called <tt class="COMMAND">pppsetup</tt> to configure
+your system to use your dialup account. It shares a look and feel similar to our <tt
+class="COMMAND">netconfig</tt> program. To run the program, make sure you are logged in
+as root. Then type <tt class="COMMAND">pppsetup</tt> to run it. You should see a screen
+like this:</p>
+
+<p>The program will present a series of questions, to which you will feed it appropriate
+answers. Things like your modem device, the modem initialization string, and the ISP
+phone number. Some items will have a default, which you can accept in most cases.</p>
+
+<p>After the program runs, it will create a <tt class="COMMAND">ppp-go</tt> program and a
+<tt class="COMMAND">ppp-off</tt> program. These are used to start and stop, respectively,
+the PPP connection. The two programs are located in <tt class="FILENAME">/usr/sbin</tt>
+and need root privileges to run.</p>

+<h2 class="SECT2"><a id="AEN1969" name="AEN1969">5.4.2 <tt
+class="FILENAME">/etc/ppp</tt></a></h2>
+
+<p>For most users, running <tt class="COMMAND">pppsetup</tt> will be sufficient. However,
+there may be an instance where you want to tweak some of the values used by the PPP
+daemon. All of the configuration information is kept in <tt
+class="FILENAME">/etc/ppp</tt>. Here is a list of what the different files are for:</p>
